Chapter 237 arrangement
The arrangements at the camp were completed. Only then did they return. The journey was filled with endless stretches of land.
"Sister, must all this land be cultivated?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes. You definitely need to buy a little mule. After all, you absolutely can’t manage without an animal for the field work, and the mules given by the camp are not very good."
Li Hongxiang nodded, "I do plan to buy a mule." He had learned earlier that only someone farming one hundred acres of land would be allocated a mule, but he’s already at his age and his two children are still small. It’s better to buy one himself.
When they arrived at Tan Shaoting’s former house, Li Hongxiang paid for the ride. The old man driving the cart said he would deliver a young mule in a few days. It would be a robust young mule, saving them a lot of trouble.
One room was filled with fertilizer.
"Mr. Li, there is a room full of fertilizer here. If it’s not okay, I can ask someone to move it out so there won’t be an irritating smell."
Li Hongxiang shook his head, "No need to trouble. There are so many rooms here. Just leave it as it is; I’ll need it next year too."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, since he was willing to accept it, they left it as it was.
"You can start organizing. I’ll go prepare some grain and firewood is just outside."
Su Yuanyuan also returned to her own home; the first thing she did was start a fire. The iron stove was lit because otherwise, it would be damp and chilly.
Then, she brought out three hundred pounds of cornmeal, a bag of white flour, some potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and radishes.
